Respect: Fab 5 Freddy

Growing up watching Yo! MTV Raps, I always wondered who this Fab 5 Freddy guy was. I had never heard of him. Come to find out he's directed some of my favorite music videos of all time. Videos like "My Philosophy", "Talkin' All That Jazz", "Ladies First", "Just To Get A Rep" and "One Love", as well as producing the classic "Wild Style" movie. Now I wanna BE him!

See some of his work on his site.

Wait. You're allowed to remix a Premier track?!

I remember not really feeling this song at first (i grew to love it with the Premier remix), but I believe this version is waay better than the original.
